Kerpoof Tips and Tricks

How do some artists get so many stars? How do I earn more koins? You asked for the inside scope. Well, here it is! Tips and tricks to make you a Kerpoof Power User!

Hint:
Super Doodle lets you use keys on your keyboard. Try these shortcuts to make super doodles!
Tip - Use the grab tool to pick up a doodle. The grab tool looks like a hand.

  • DELETE = Deletes the selected item.
  • <-- --> = Arrow keys move a doodle around the picture.
  • i = Color Dropper
  • p = Pen
  • e = Erase
  • k = Fill
  • g = Grab Tool


Trick - Try using the CTRL key. What happens when you hold down the CTRL key and use the fill tool with blue, yellow, green or purple?

Hint:
Kerpoof's Picture Maker and Movie Maker have shortcuts. For example:

  • DEL = Deletes an object
  • SHIFT = Holding the SHIFT key while dragging an object moves it up and down. It even moves below ground!
  • CTRL = Holding the CTRL key while dragging an object makes a copy of it.

Hint:

  • Create Art: You earn Koins when you create art! After you finish, click "Done", and you will get Koins. The better the scene, the more Koins!
  • Share Art: Share your art to get stars. Every time you get stars you get Koins. The best art can earn hundreds or even thousands of Koins!

Tip - Your friends can vote for your creations too! Just have them search for your nickname. And then give your art stars!

Tip - Having trouble making a really awesome art? Don't worry. Over time you will get better. The most important thing is to have fun!

Hint:
Kerpoof rewards you for trying new things. This can be all sorts of things. For example:

  • If you draw a good circle in Super Doodle - you get Koins.
  • If you make the Sun set in the Picture Maker - you get Koins.
  • If you move an object below ground - you get Koins.

So just play around. You will be surprised how many ways you can earn Koins.

Hint:
Kerpoof has some cheat codes. By typing secret words at the right time, special things happen. For example:

  • When you Make a Picture, pick the beach scene. Then drag in a character. Now click on their speech bubble and type, "Where is the tugboat?" Ta Da! The secret tugboat appears! Act quickly and drag it into your scene.
  • On the activity selection page, try XYZZY and other classic cheat codes.

Hint:
Ever wonder how much bamboo a panda can eat? What a samurai's sword is called? Find out by going on a Kerpoof treasure hunt! Enter Make a Picture and drag different objects onto the canvas. Look for the question mark icon next to the resize and rotate tools. Then click on the question mark to open up a "bubble" of information. Not all objects have info bubbles... keep looking until you find one!
